 Thanks for posting your first ticket! :)

 I agree that it's a bug. An admin page should not make an unlimited
 options table query. However, it affects a very small number of users. The
 options table rarely gets that big and wp-admin/options.php is used very
 little. Also, users in that situation usually have SQL access. Which is
 not to say a patch would be rejected, but nobody is likely to stop what
 they're doing and start working on this. Just a matter of priorities.

 A quick google search for `wp plugin options editor` did turn up some
 results. https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-options-editor/ looks
 interesting, although I haven't looked deeper than that listing. You might
 contact the author about converting it to a core patch if it works well in
 your case.
